Another notable date. Via WIkipedia.

The company was founded as Mosaic Communications Corporation on April 4, 1994 by Marc Andreessen and Jim Clark, and was 
the first company to attempt to capitalize on the nascent World Wide Web. It released a web browser called Mosaic 
Netscape 0.9 on October 13, 1994.

This browser was subsequently renamed Netscape Navigator, and the company took on the 'Netscape' name on November 14, 
1994 to avoid trademark ownership problems with NCSA, where the initial Netscape employees had previously created the 
NCSA Mosaic web browser. (The Mosaic Netscape web browser shared no code with NCSA Mosaic.)
